Final Green Building Pre-Pour Meeting For Net Zero Casa Ti, Our Modern Prefab House Kit.

Final 9 a.m. meeting with the contractor before pouring the casa ti foundation!

We delayed the pouring of the house foundation a bit because we had to really review all of our systems decisions because, honeychile', once that concrete is poured... that's it! So we really wanted to audit our choices to make sure they would be appropriate for our family longterm.

The one thing I regret is that I know solar technology is going to rapidly change and become more affordable in the next 18 months. But what can ya do when you need to purchase your system now? I certainly can't let the casa ti concrete foundation sit and crack in the winter cold now, can I? So nope, gotta buy the net zero / off grid systems now, regardless of great technological advancements in the near future.

Pictures coming soon...

In the meantime here's a pic of our cute lil' tractor-- I feel very sorry for my husband, he has to bush hogg in 100 degree heat after the meeting... Happy Father's Day, sweetie! : (
